margin some distance before the anal angle ; three large roundish green blotches, 

 edged with red-brown in the median area, one in cell before the discocellnhir, one 

 below it beneath the median, the third and largest beyond the discocellnlar ; two 

 smaller blotches of purple-brown scales between the origins of veins 2 and 3, and 

 3 an<I 4 ; an obscure rufous shade, excnrved round them to inner margin near 

 middle : a series of greenish wedge-shaped marks beyond outer line, followed by a 

 waved reddish subterminal line; veins towards margin marked with rnfons: marginal 

 line red-brown, swollen between the veins ; fringe glossy, whitish, varied with 

 rufous, and with dark dashes opposite the veins. 



Hindwings : the same, bnt deeper rufous. 



Underside whitish, with a faint rufous tint : the exterior and marginal lines 

 rufous. Face and paljii dark red-brown ; verte.x, tliorax, and abdomen pinkish 

 ochreous, speckled with red-brown. 



Expanse of wings : 33 mm. 



One ? from Sierra Leone. 



Distinguished from the Indian species by the exterior line not running to the 

 anal angle. 



Brachycola gen. nov. 



A development of A nisof/es Gueu., characterised by the hind tibiae of J, which 

 are quite short, with a tuft of hair from their base, and with three long curved spurs 

 from the extremity; in other respects agreeing ynih Perixera Meyr. 



Type : Brachycola absconditaria Wlk. 



This genus is equivalent to Hampson's Anisodes, Section I., to which he gives 

 the name Perixera ; bnt Perixera Meyr. is his Section II., with the hind tibiae of 

 S fully developed and the median pair of spurs absent. 



103. Brachycola (?) minorata sp. nov. 



Forewings : ochreous, densely irrorated with reddish atoms; first line marked 

 by three dots lying in a curve ; cell-spot red-brown : a sinuous dilfuse grey central 

 shade ; exterior line near and parallel to hindmargin, marked by dark vein-dots ; 

 minute red dots at the ends, and also between the veins ; fringe yellowish. 



Hitiduinys : the same ; but with the cell-spot larger, formed of raised white 

 scales with a dark edge. 



Underside of forewings pale dnll rosy, of hindwings white. Palpi rosy above,

 wings. 



Expanse of wings : 26 mm. 



One 6, one ?, from Teuimber, July 18',i2 (W. Uoherty). 



The only c? has lost its hiudlegs ; but it is most likely a Brac/ii/cola.
